• Abstract: Tabular data synthesis involves not only multi-table synthesis but also generating multi-modal data (e.g., strings and categories), which enables diverse knowledge synthesis. However, separating numerical and categorical data has limited the effectiveness of tabular data generation. The GReaT (Generate Realistic Tabular Data) framework uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to encode entire rows, eliminating the need to partition data types. Despite this, the framework's performance is constrained by two issues: (1) tabular data entries lack sufficient semantic meaning, limiting LLM's ability to leverage pre-trained knowledge for in-context learning, and (2) complex multi-table datasets struggle to establish effective relationships for collaboration. To address these, we propose GReaTER (Generate Realistic Tabular Data after data Enhancement and Reduction), which includes: (1) a data semantic enhancement system that improves LLM's understanding of tabular data through mapping, enabling better in-context learning, and (2) a cross-table connecting method to establish efficient relationships across complex tables. Experimental results show that GReaTER outperforms the GReaT framework.

  Large language models (LLM) have been used for diverse tasks, but do not capture the correct correlation between the features and the target variable. We propose a LLM-based method with three important improvements to correctly capture the ground-truth feature-class correlation in the real data. Our experiments show that our method significantly outperforms 10 SOTA baselines on 20 datasets in downstream tasks.
